THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1842. ADJOURNMENT OP THE LEGISLATURE. The Statesman, as in duty bound, glorifies the Legislature, which has just closed its destructive labors. The majority are praised for every thing which they had better left undone, and only not censured for the only acccptublc act that can be placed to their credit, viz: tho resolution finally to diverse but oven that was drugged wilh a proviso to meet again in July, at an extraordinary and unnecessary expense to the people. The session, like all that have gone before it, and are evor to come after, " hus been one of the most important ever held in Ohio." At least, such is the expressed opinion of the Statesman, and taking into consideration the amount of good which might have been secured but was not, and the mass of evil entailed which might have been avoided, wo shall concede that it deserves to be deemed memorable, and that is nearly the same tiling, When the Lo-gislature met, the tiffin rs of tho State were deeply depressed, and when it separated, enough had been dune to close every prospect of relief for the ensuing year. That which was intolerably bad has become ineffably worse. The spirit in which measures of public policy have been conceived, and the unprincipled means by which they have been carried out, have not only shaken tho structure of our institutions as a State, for tho time being, but have left us to grapple with a host of difficulties for tho future, which the firmest resolution and the wisost expedi euts, for a generation to como, will bo incapablo of repairing. It is greatly to be regretted that thero is no one, who would wish to do posterity a service by writing the history of this Legislature. If it be any tiling more than a poetical conception, that "vice to bo hated, needs but to be seen," the portraits of some who have figured as leaders in thocapitol during this modern reign of terror, might ho eminently useful to those who are to succeed them as guardians of tho public weal We would be willing to assume the taik ourselves, but tlmt tho daily labors with which we aro identified would disqualify us from executing it perfectly, and better that it be not done at all, thun not well done. Still the example can not be lost, if left unwritten. The Legislature has reared a monument to itself which will withstand tho ravages of tiino for many a revolution of the sun, and tradition, if tho historian docs not, will preserve its infamy. In after days men will speak of tho abuses of government and tho mischiefs of demagogueisin as unparalleled except by the Legislature of Ohio in lb 12. It cannot be surprising that the Legislature does not escape tho commendation of tho Statesman. The good opinion of tlmt personification of vulgarity, impertinence and cupidity hna been paid fur out of the Treasury, Never has there been a legislature employed more diligently in lavishing the public money upon an undeserving reprobate, than the present. Doubtless the opportunity has been deemed too good to bo Uwt, and as it might be tho last which would evor be afforded to the present State Printer, tho reward of purtizan services out of tho public coffers hus boon proportioned to tho exigency of the occasion. Besides, another important election is approaching, and if the munitions of war were not laid in now, tho contest on one side would flag for the lack of an energetic support. Tho editor of tho Statesman affects to deny that the Stato Printing cm possibly reach $'if,000, but we aver, that whatever it may be, it might have been one third less, without detriment to the general interest of the peo ple, and that at one half the sum, the advantages of all tho legislation of the winter would have been most dearly purchased. The whole number of acts of a general nature passed during a session of thirteen weeks, is barely thirty-nine! Several of these are merely forms, uch as tho fixing of the courts, the ordinary appro priation bills, &c Six are connected with "Hank Reform," and several aro amendatory of other acts. passed at an earlier day. The mcngro character of the legislation of the winter will strike tho most in different person, when he glances at the titles of the acts. The people would bo thankful that no tnoro had been done, had not tho period of the session been prolonged so needlessly in doing nothing. Tho Statesman regrets that "a few bills were lost, thro' the combined voles of tho opHwition. Tho people will regret tlmt more did not share the same fate. It is not often that the minority are able to control the ma jority, but as the Statesman asserts that such a strange result has, in a few instances, characteritcd the in citlents of the session, we tuko occasion to return our thanks, in the name of thr people of the Statet to that a&me vigilant "opposition, for the evils thus averted. They had tho will, if they hid possessed the power, to have averted mora. Let tho people then remem ber their fuitliful public servants, who, though they wanted the strength to protect and promote Uicir interests as fully as they desired, did not, nevertheless abandon their duty, but contended munfully for the right, and when the majority determined to outrage tho principles of jintico and reason, compelled them also to sin against light and knowledge. The Whig minority of the present legislature are an intelligent, capablo and trusty body of men. Could tho Stato have been so fortunate as to have had its interests wholly committed to their hands, fur different would havo been tho fruits of the session. Wo hope wo alia 11 meet them again under different and more favorable auspices when ihey will be able to com bine their efforts for the establishment of good laws rather than oppose, mostly in vain, the enactment of bad ones. Though wo havo said that wo cannot write tho history of this legislature, we shall notwithstanding have occasion to sketch some of its proceedings, in the course of the ensuing summer. In the performance of that task, we will labor to do justice to somo of the scenes that have been just closed. HOME LEAGUE. Tho Wiseacre of the Statesman has conceived uch an inordinate dislike to these patriotic associa tions, which have for their object the encouragement and promotion of .iWncon instead of liritish inter ests, that ho is ready to go as fur out of his way to givo one of them a word of ill-will and contempt, as John Randolph was to kick a sheep. His exults turn at tho failure of the attempt to establish a Home League " in this city ts not forgotten, and within a fow days he has sent up another shout over tho reported dissolution of the u Homo League n at Wheeling. In the latter instanco we havo tho plea sure of apprisiug him tlmt he is a little too fast. The Home League of W heeling, as wo learn from the Wheeling times, is fur enough froin being dead, and doserves none of his tears. Ho can of course bottle hem for future use. "FEW DIE AND NONE RESIGN Tho Statesman mentions in tone of exultation that several Whigs in tho Indiana Legislature have imitated Mr. Clay's example, and resigned their eats. Certain it is that when men in public stations are found surrendering tho honors and emolu ments of office, they will prove on enquiry to bo Whig. The trick is ono which tho I,oco Foco Fe deralists havo never acquired. Jefferson alluded to this class of politicians when ho said, "tew die, and none resign." New Haumhihk Senator. Leonsrd Wileox has been appointed by tho Govornor of Now Hampshire, as United States Senator, in placo ut Franklin Pierce, resigned. COTTON THE SOUTH MOVING. A Convention of Cotton Planters has been held at Mobile, to take into consideration the threatened danger to their interests by the prospects of Great Britain's furnishing herself with our great southern staple from hor East India possessions. Already they begin to talk of protection. That hated word begins to grow, not altogether lovely, perhaps, yet, but then much less odious. It will not be long ere the people in every section of the Union will be found uniting in favor of the support of domestic industry always excepting thoso sagacious, fur seeing politicians, who are always so fortunate in taking, the popular side of political questions ; the editor of the Statesman, Auditor of State and their freinds, for example. fjy Mr. Wilcox's communication respecting tho change in the law providing for the publication of (he Ohio Law Reports, will attract the attention of our professional readors. The difficulties suggested by Mr. W. are but among tho least to flow from the partial and reckless legi slut ion of the seat-ion. (The Bank of Norwalk, Huron co., has been selected as a deposite Rank, by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Bank has alwayB redeemed its notea in specie. OHIO REPORTS, VOL. 10, NO. 2. . To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : Will you be good enough to publish the following statement relative to these Reports ? Tho number of coses in the last Court in Bank being greater than ever before, many of them long ones, running up to a volume of nearly fjOO pages, us was supposed, it was not expected tlmt they would be printed till about the middle, or possibly the first of June. Tho work wus began soon after the Court adjourned and about 40 coses, making nearly 200 pages, are now printed. The materials on hand and tho work done tiius far amount to about 350 dollars. It is in this condition of things tlmt the late act of tho Legislature relative to the Reports, has gone into operation. The old Reporter is kept in ullice till June, and ho is required now to go to Mr. Medary, the State Printer, and there begin, tie novo, the print ing ot all tho cases decided at the last term, in tho form and size of the lute collated Statutes, varying so greatly from the first number of the 10th volume that Uiey cannot bo bound together. W lien tho work is thus completed, at the Stato Printer's, it is to be the property of the State and disused of for the use of the Stato, no compensation, beyond the salary of !100 dollars, being allowed to the reporter for this ad ditional In Dor, nor tor the excuses actually incurred by hiin amounting as above stated to about 330 dollars.To go on and complete tho work as it is began. regardless of the new Law, Mill crcato an exjense I nearly IWU dollars which must ho met by the Reporter, for tho law is repealed by which tho State used to take 100 copies. i here is then but one alternative left 1 must pre pare an index, bind up the first number, with as much of the second number as is printed, into one Volume, of about 5r0 or (100 pages, and resign. The Bccond number, as tor as printed, wm also oe put up in the same form as the first number was last year. It is Uiought they will be out by tho 1st of April. What is to become of the cases now in my hands not yet printed, and thoso in the hands of the Judges not yet prepared, 1 do not know. Very rcspecttiiny, Ac, March?, 1812. P. B. WILCOX. For die Ohio State Juurnul. The following is part of an editorial in a late num ber of the Ohio Stuesmnn : Tho post Muster at Delaware Ohio, and Hotel keeper, offered the singe passengers, whom he supposed wero delegates to the image worshippers' convention, the freedom of his table, A Democrat in company, told him that ho preferred paying for his meals, to being considered a Whig, even for a mo- menu " Thero is not ono word of truth in this statement. except that lain a "Hotel keeper mid Post Master at Delaware." Nostnge passengers hove stopped at my house for the lust five months, unless a private friend, or relative, may have taken occasion to nmke a call, while others were nwniting their men!s,at the stage-house. Some mischievous wag must have seen with what avidity the Statesman magnifies microscopic objects, and hits sought to amuse himself at the expense of its editor. 11 GRISWOLD. TEMPERANCE. At a meeting of the Washington Temperance So ciety of Columbus, held in the Old Court House, on Thursday evening lust, on motion of Dr. R. Thompson, it was Hesolved, That the thanks of this Society be ten dered to Messrs. Leonard, Nash, McrediUi, Holmes and others, members of the tho Legislature, and to (Jul eon M. Ayres, Clerk of the House, for their aid and co-opereration with tho Society, in advancing tho cause of total abstinence in this citv.

The Loco Foco party at Concord, beaded by Isaac Uill, have formally repudiated Henry Hubbard, the regular Loco Foco nomiueo for Governor, and have nominated as their candidulo Hun, John N. White, of Lancaster. At a caucus last Saturday evening, the belligerent parties came near having a regular set to and Burton, as 11)11 intimates, threatened to uso the knife upon him if he persisted in forcing his resolutions through tho caucus. Hill, however, lino ly tn i implied his resolutions wero adopted and at the cud of them lite following additional resolutions, denouncing and renouncing Hubbard, which Hill's Patriot says u passed in a quick flash of at urinative voices, with not even a radical .to upon tho oUier side of the house." Krsoiccd, That when any candidate for office in this State subsequent to hit noimniion, renounces und abjures his former opinions, or declares in fnvor of now political doctrines, ho absolves his party from every pledge to support hunt the Hon. Henry Hubbard, having recently avowed principles and opinions repugnant to those which his friends siipjwscd he entertained, when they supported his nomination last June, and these principles and opinions being, in our belief, inimical to the town of Concord, and opposed to tho best interests of the State, wo do not consider him entitled to our further support: Wo therefore renounce tho Hon. Henry Hubbard, and in his stead will support the Hon. John H. White for the office of Governor of this State at tho ensuing election, in whose hour-sty, integrity und consistent democracy, wo have full confidence. For this movement tho old Patriot denounces Hill as a traitor to the party in the following terms; We ore compelled by every colonic rati on of regard to the good of our glorious cause, by every suggestion of duty, to denounce Isaac Hill as faithless to the Democracy of the tlranite State, We proclaim him, to our brethren in tho Union, to be perfidious to the Democratic party. Wo arraign him before thorn as plotting and striving to carry out in overt acts the overthrow of our holy cnu-te in Now Hampshire, ("or the basest ends. We charge him with being false to his political friends, false to himself, fulso to every consideration of character and reputation, false to tho good name and fame of tho Democratic party in this State. J le is no longer an Jhfum in the cum p. He occupies the open ground of desertion, of disorganization and of active hostility. Ho makes war u ton the party, which his hitherto been kinder to turn than a father tn his child." Barton's Patriot also contains a Circular from the Central Committee, who sound tho alurm in a most lugubrious tones declare that there is treason in the ramp, and tlmt the beacon light of New Hampshire Loco Focoism is in danger ot' being extinguished. There aro two locofoco papers at Columbus, the O-hio Statesman, and the Old School Republican, The former says the State Convention of thetwenty-see-end was a meagre affair, about half as large as the right of January CMiccrn. Tho latter says it was "wullicirnlly largo for all practical purposes," and that it was a Uarge convention.' The next time theso worthies apeak of a Whig Convent ion, they would do well to compare M notes," so tlmt their opinions may correspond. Clinton Jlrpubiican. CAnnvtNo out their PuiNrin.r.s. A petition has been presented to the Legislature from one Hunj. Briggs, ot Newark, praying them to abolish all laws for the collection of debts after the first of Juno next This Mr. Briggs is the editor of the Newark Advocate and a genuine Locofoco.

From die Woostcr Democrat. I Whid State Convention. The Convention i held at Columbus on the 22d of February was compos-. ed of about IJOOO just such men as have heretofore as-1 sembled in previous meeting of tliesame kind the ! independent, the honest antl intelligent yeomanry of j die State. These men were actuated by a spirit of deep devotion to the cause which they have espoused; and manifested, by their attendance at so unpleasant 1 a season of the year, a patriotic willingness to sac-; rifice their own personal comfort, as well as pecunia-i ry interest, for the general good. In this spirit were their proceedings conducted. In this spirit was the nomination made which they have presented to the public ; and, in this spirit, we doubt not, will that no- mini: ion be supported by the electors of the Stute. , The proceedings of this body, which wo publish to-day, will be read with intense interest by the electors of this section of the State. Before the assembling of the Convention, many thousands looked forward to the meeting with anxious hopes and keen interest. Its proceedings are now submitted to the public, and well hove they sustained tho confidence tlmt was placed in the body collectively- -well have they fulfilled tho hopes tlmt were entertained of its results. Tho nomination of THOMAS COR WIN for reelection to tho office of Chief Magistrate of the State, was, wo believe, unexiweted to nearly every person, in consequence of his repeatedly expressed desire to retire troin the post he now mis with so mucn honor. The nomination, however, will lose nothing, but gain by this circumstance. The name presented Bounds familiar upon tho ear, like that of some cherished friend. It is not tho name of ono who has sought the office, either by his own solicitation, or through the exertions of noisy partizans ; but of ono unanimously selected by the Convention, and to whom tho nomi nation wus tendered, and accepted, m a inuuncr alike worthy of the giver and receiver. Mb. Corwin is one ot the purest and ablest men in tho Stote. Indeed but few persons, even among his political oponcnts, will venture to deny his eminent fitness fur the station he now holds, and which it is sought to confer on him a second time. W ith such a mun for our candidate, wo cuu go on in our course with fresh impulse, and renewed spirit. The proceedings ot the Convention with the Ad dress and Resolutions adopted, will leave many to serious und eurnest investigation of the policy fur which the Whig party contend, and of the principles which they advocate. It is the chief object of the Whigs to court investigation, and invite examination into their political acts and motives, at all times: and every movement which will give a wider spread to a knowledge of their principles, will add in an equal rotio to their strength. The nomination ut Thomas Lorn in and Uio publi cation of the proceedings of the Convention, aro well calculated to promote this result; and whether suc cessful or otherwise, they wm contribute to send us on, with accelerated speed, to the achievement of Uie final triumph tho prostration of the demagogues who hold Uic tcmiwrary control ol the Mate, und the elevation of statesmen and patriots in their stead. From the Hillsborough New. Wmo Statk Convention. Wcgivcto-duy the proceedings of tho State Convention ut Columbus on the id iehruurv, Ihey aro ot the right stamp. Tho Address is sound in sentiment and temperate in tone, and the Resolutions equally so. Thu nomination of Governor Corwin for re-election is hailed with great satisfaction by every true Whig of the State. Of his re-election none, we presume, can reasonably doubt The Convention was respcetuble and very numerously attended, as will bo ween by reference to tho first page of our patwr. Upon this subject tho Cincinnati Gazette makes the tallowing candid and well-timed remurks : Wmo Convention. Wo givo up our columns to-day chiefly to the proceedings ot tins convention, Tho address is temperate in tone, and calls ujwn the good people of Ohio to rally against tho course of the destructives. And they will do so. Ohio hus been long enough under tho cuntrol of bartering politicians too long for her interest or her honor, and unless she discards them, as she would any tiling tlmt is vile and louthsome, all tlmt ia dear to hor will be be sacrificed by them. Wo want business legislators, practicul men, and we must have them. We aro truly glad to know tlmt Governor Corwin is to be our candidate, wo have tried him. W know his firmness. And with such a louder we need not doubt our success, if like honest men we work fur it The Editor of the Clinton Republican attended the Convention. Ot Air. Con wis ho says: M It is true Mr. Corwin did not intend to be a candidate for re-election, but tho voice of every whig in the stnto was for Corwin, and Corwin only. In view of public sentiment, and the deplorable condition into which we huvo been involved by corrupt rulers, he consented, tor the saKcot his country, to ho a candi date, and when the vust multitude, were aked, "irAom will you lutve for Governor fn one goi eral, deafening burst exclaimed, CORWIN ! What happy sensations wero thus created tho very heart leaped with joy at this moment, and the tiro that broko forth wilt continue to burn and t-prcad until tho lust and least remains of Ijocolbco destruction sliall become extinct" From die (iallipolU Journal. Wmo State Convention. The proceedings of this great gathering ot the trcemen ol Ohio, may bo found in to-day's paper: indeed, their great length precludes tho insertion of hardly any thing else. But wo shall bo exciiied fur thus occupying our columns, as all aro anxious to learn the result of the labors of their delegates in Convention assembled. Tho address is an able one, and well worthy a careful and considerate perusal. The numher of delegates in attendance upon the Convention has been variously estimated, by good and competent judges, at from :l,0()0 to 5,000. There wero, probably, not less than 11,000 at least ; and yet Sam Medary s iys thero wero only C'Ki in the procession on that occasion. But, then, no one believes tho u father of linrs, " and we puss by Medary 's slang as idle talk. Ho will become sathdied by the second Tuesday in October, tlmt tlie delegutes represented Uto PEOPLE, let their numbers bo numerous or small. Gov. Corw in's nomination was by acclamation; not one small dissenting voice wns heard. Ho was too severely indisposed to address tho vast multitude, having been confined to his bed fur a few days previous. Ho tins accepted of tho nomination, and if thu people fail to elect bun, under the circumstances in which he has been inducod to run, they will prove recreant to their duty, and fuitidess to tho greut interests of the State. Altogether tho Convention was a glorious affair, and augers well fur success. We have never attended a convention, where a better spirit and mora enthusiasm prevailed (save and except that of M0) than was manifested at Columbus on tho id. Tho Convention was composed of tho hardy tillers of the soil, who appeared to feel tho embarrassment of their condition, and the sad effects of Loco Foco legislation upon tho wclfaro of tho State; and who manifested a determination to drivo the Soilers from power while yet the freedom of thought and icech was their legacy. And certain are we, from the indications wo saw at Columbus, and from the feelings of the people through that portion of the State which wo travelled, that their efforts will prove triumphant tlmt Tom Corwin, the favorite son of Ohio, will, for two yoars more, preside over the destinies of this State ; and further, that Loco Foco legislation and misrulo will meet with a rebuko ns terrible as tho destruction of Sudum and Gomorrah. From the Toledo Bhule. Thomas Corwin. It is with pride that wo place Uio name of this gentleman, at the head of our editorial columns, as the candidate for Governor of this State. His nomination will be hailed by every Whig, and every lover of his country, with entliusiatic exultation. With such a leader tho Whigs will surely come off victorious. We most heartily adopt tho sentiments of the Cleveland Herald, in speaking of his nomination, w hich mys: 1 1 is isamuno around which we can rally and do hnttlc for our country. In him the people have trust and confidence. His long course of public service has made him known to the public and his talents and integrity will not be questioned. Tho Whigs of Ohio havo not forgotten the spirit stirring and eloquent appeals lie made to them in tho glorious contest ot lb 10, when "tho spoilers" were routed and defeated. They will rally again under the banner of CORWIN, mid they will again triumplu His numo is a host, and with hun as a candidate, i cumioi be drjeated Thomas Corwin, is truly and emphatically, tho people's man. Ho is well acquainted with their interestshe knows their want and is the ablo advocate of such measures as will restore prosjierity to our State and country. He is a warm and unconi- ron n sing friend of a protective Tori If.

Tho Whig Conven tion, at Columbus, on the 22d ultimo, was one of the largest ever held in the btote, only second to tho g rui id gathering on the &2d February, lb40, when the peoplo moved in moss to do their own work. The name ib once more rekindled, the shout goes fortti, from hill to plain, and under the gallant leader who before led to victory, with the same principles recorded on our banner, we shall again sweep over the ranks of our opponents, as with the force of a whirl wind, ihe reserve corps, thirty thousand strong, will come up to the work once more; and thousands of thoso who vuinly confided in the promises of our present Legislators, will help to swell our ranks, and join tho cry for " Corwin and a State Bank !

In tho evening he addressed as many us could find room, at the Neil house, within hearing distance. Those who heard him, say it was one of his huppiest efforts. Hon. Thomas Ewing followed, and delivered some excellent remarks, in the best possible humor.

" " Yet, t reedom, yet ! thy banner torn but fly me, Streams like llic thunder eloud against the wind." The QJd was a iovous dnv to the crowd of Whips assembled in Columbus, and a day of alurm to the accidental mnjority who now occupy the seats of power in the city of tho people's Sanhedrim.

It wus an enthusiastic gathering of the People from all ports of the State. The number is estimated, by those who were present, at about H00O. The Address and Resolutions tell tho sentiments of tho delegates. The nomination of our present excellent Governor, THOMAS CORWIN, forre-election, will give universal satisfaction to the Whigs of this county, as well as to every other part of tho State, lie is tho unanimous choice of the Whig party of Ohio, for Governor, and it gives us much pleasure to announce to our readers that he has consented to become a candidate for re-election to that office. His principal opponent is Wilson Shannon, tho same individual who fell some i,000 votes in the rear, in the ever memorable campaign of 1H 10. The Whigs can elect Tom Con win, if they will, by a majority of 10,000 votiw. If they work with half tho zeal they did at the last gubernatorial election, there is no doubt but what "Shinnon's a used up man." From (ho Ravenna Star. The Nomination. We are heartily glad of the nomination of Mn, Con win, and wo believe tho entire Whig Party of Ohio will huil his acceptance as an omen of victory. No other candidate tlmt could have been named would command so cordial and enthusiastic Btipport He is known to tho people, has been seen, antl heard, and approved by them, and in ; a thorough contest hus been once elected by a triumphant niujorily. The two parties are no fairly arrayed for tho next campaign. The particular measures and principles which each candidate represents will bo presented and thoroughly cunvusdcd before the election. Wilson Shannon as tho advocate of the hard-money, or no-money ftystem, free trade and no currency; Thomas Coiiwin, advocating a Stato Bank, a sound, solvent and convertible paper currency, und a protective Tariff. To doubt which of tho two will be successful is to doubt the intelligence of the people of Ohio. From lite Logan tina-Uc' Wmo Convention.

Last Tuesday was a proud day for tho Whigs of U-hio. The thousands of freemen assembled at Columbus on tlmt day, proves that the same spirit which animated the people in ItMO, is still abroad that the Whigs have aroused themselves and have entemd upon tho contest with tho certainty of success. The Convention was a largo one, numbering, according to various otti motes, fnun (i to cHXK) persons. This, considering tho state of tho roads and weather wag extraordinary, and what tho most sanguine had not expected. Tho old and young wore there aliko, from every portion of the Statu, journeying on foot, on horseback, and in vehicles; ail imbued with the do torminntion of battling manfully for the success of the principles they avowed, displaying a spirit, that when once amused can never be overcome. THOMAS CORW IN was nominuted forre-election, by acclamation, and his consent to be the Candida to, was hailed with the liveliest feelings of gratification and enthusiasm, not only by tho Convention, but by Iho peoplo, wherever the nows spread. The necessity of protecting our homo manufactures innteud of paying n tax to supftartforeifrn (tvth crnmmls, is ably and boldly set forth in the Addnnia and Resolutions, and cannot fail to command the attention of the people, three fourths of whom, were it not fur party trammels, would avow them. Tlis leaders of tne opposition can see no danger in our ports being left 0rn, for tho importation of foreign articles, because it suit tho notions of Southern aristocrats, who aro a great acquisition to "the party." We have been cursed with this evil too long; notwithstanding the immense sums of money we have sent to Europe, for the liquidation of the debt, which we have incurred by importing more than wo export, our debt to foreigners is still so enormously great that every hard dollar in tho United States would not pay half the amount Yet, with this dreary prospect before us, the Locofocos are doing their utmost to perpetuate the policy of free trade" (or properly termed, freedom to our enemies oppression to ourselves) which is desolating the country, From the Circle ville Herald.

We shall copy, in our next, a number of the complimentary expressions and congratulations which his nomination has called out. From tho Cunton Repository, Democratic Whig Convention.

This day one year ago, William Henry Harri son, in tho midst of thousands of his admiring coun trymen, at tho Cupito) of the Republic, delivered his memorable Inaugural ; distinguished for its beauty, patriotism and sound American principles. It wus a noble ftroduction from a noble mind. Its doctrines met with a hearty resjHtnso from two-thirds of his fellow -citizens. Joy thrilled their hearts. They be lieved a purer, brighter day, had dawned upon tho republic. His nddress was considered the harbinger of an honest administration of public atVuirs, and of the restoration ot that permanent American policy which exjorience had demonstrated to be inseparably connected with the prosperity of the country. The peoplo expected a thorough change; an undoing of nearly an uiai nau Dcen none in tho nrecedinir twelve yoars. They looked for a sound and efficient .National tiunk; an adjustment ot tho J arid, which. while it should protect ono section should not nnnreas another; for a limitation of Executive power ami patronage; fur a vnst reduction of expenditures; the discontinuance ot useless ottirca, and a vigorous and searching Reform. Gen. Harrison lived ono short month; but his administration during this brief pe riod satisfied all his friends that his actions wero a complete verification of his profession; that as a steady adherence to principle had ever distininnshcd him before, so it would be his polar-star in the future; that as the people had called on him as their deliverer in the day of trouble, so ho never would disap point mem in ineirjust expectations. Had tien Harrison lived, we should tins day have enjoyed tho benefit of a sound and national currency i a comoletc reform would have been in progress in all the de- namncuts oi me government; the Cabinet would hove remained a unit; confidence in the adninistra- tion would have been unimpaired ; the party would have been every where victorious, united and invincible. But alas, tho clmngo! Since his death, disappointment, chagrin, treachery and defeat, have ueen uio unlooked-for inheritance of the W hig party. When tho grave cloned ovor Uio mortal rriiminsof our beloved President, tho people looked with confidence to the Vice President to carry out the great principles of his predecessor, and with which ho stood identified before his election to Uio Vice Presidency. Tho support of tho party was warmly nrof- fervd him ; and when they read his Inaugural Address and found that Uie Harrison Cabinet was to be continued, any fears thny may havo entertained in relation to mr. lyler's fidelity were dissipated, as was clearly indicated in Uie result of tho elections prior to Uio Extra Session. Put ambition and evil councils swnyed tho mind of Uio now President: the one term principle lost its influence, and Uie po. sion of power and Uio syren voico of flattery lured him from Uio rmUi of integrity and invited him to struggle for a future election to the Presidency. Ho hoped tn form a third party stronger than either of the two existing ones, which should acknowledged him as its head; and this is still his object Congress convened : his first message wan pretty well received j but remnrkublo only for its feebleness as a state pa per. rwrv thing went on smooth v for awhile t hank bill was introduced into Congress ; but at lengUi the peoplo wore shocked ith Uie announcement, Umt Uie bill, unless modified tn suit the President could not obtain his signature, this was bold language from a Whig President Tho bill pawed in a motlified shape. The modification was treated by him with contempt new objections were started; Conscience could'nt stand discounts wiUiout the assrnt of tho States; it became a lively, active, vigilant principle, discerning things no mortal man had ever dreamed of before. It operated per re, and no mis take. A veto was tho consequence ; the will of tho people was contemned and Congress defied. This IhkIv Uien should have in-dnntly adjourned.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1812. CONGRESS THE RIGHT OF PETITION. Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, presented a petition the other day in the House, at Washington, asking for a dissolution of the Union. It wus received very quietly, no southern members sprung upon Mr. and no angry or ferocious debates followed, l he propo sition to refer it to a select committee was rejected by a large majojity. rhuu. OuztHe. If any section of the Union has reason to fleck tho dissolution of tho compact, it is the North. Pa triotic and forbearing, the People of the North have meekly endured a thousand aggravated and real evils, which might have been avoided, and what was more ungracious still, the insolence and menaces ot the South; but their patience is nearly exhausted. Hence these unexampled and startling sounds in Congress the North and tho West demanding a peaceful separation of the States ! But it is impos sible. The Union can not, must not be dissolved. It must be PRESERVED. Wo must hand down this glorious fabric, cemented by the blood of our fathers, hallowed by the most ennobling associations, to Posterity, It was entrusted to us fur tlmt purpose. Ultraisms on both sides must be discountenanced. We arc rapidly we may my happily, approaching a new crisis. Ihe adverse systems ot policy winch havo fomented our divisions and sharpened our ant mositics, cannot much longer maintain an equal contest The South, if it does not see, is beginning to ftet its errors. Tho doctrino of Protection is again coinirg into favor, and spreading like a prairie fire. Ve shall Boon weigh the common interests of the nation in the same scutes. Wo Bhnll once more unito like a bund of brothers. But let the South meet the North on equal ground in another tender point Let southern statesmen fling away their cowardly fear of petitions. Let them rescind their 21st rules. Let them ccoao to rely upon such cob webs for safety, I he peoplo of the free States can not be restrained by such desperate expedients. They must bo reasoned with. Every attempt to drive or intimidate them will prove worse than use less. Above all, they will not surrender tho rights which are guarantied to tlicm by the Constitution, and next to the Right of Suffrage they value the Right of Petition. Let tho South review its position on this subject through a common sense medium. Its duty is obvious. If either section has a greater interest in preserving the Union, tho sculo turns against tho South. They are benefitted most by it, and could not long survive a disruption. Uon the North the consequences of disunion might full with less force, but no human ken can now forcseo tho extent or termination of the terrible evils w hich such a catastrophe would entail upon us. Where both sides havo so much reason to culti vate friendly relations, surely it cannot be difficult to avoid mutual causes of irritation. Give us a Tariff, aye, a Tariff of Protection; givo us back the prosperity wo havo sacrificed to tho wretched fallacies of Free Trade abrogate those odious rules in Con gress that infringe ujon the right of petition let us confide more in each other's generosity and good foUli, and the flag of tho UNION shall cast its shadows from the rising to the setting sun, and wave perpetually over tho "Land of die free, and the home of the brave." riPE-LAYING REVIVED. The Loco Foco Legislature of Uic Stato of New York has repoaled tho Registry law to preserve Uie purity of elections in Uio city of Now York. The doors of corruption, pipe-laying and fraudulent voting ere thus rc-o)cncd in tho Western Babylon.

The Supreme Court of Uio United States has recently made an important decision, respecting Uie right of tho owners of fugitive slaves to reclaim their property in Uio free stales. By it the master of a slave escaping from son' ice into anoUier state, is entitled to apprehend Uie fugitive and convey him bo-yond its boundaries without any refeu-ncc to tho laws of the State in w Inch he may be found all such laws being pronounced unconstitutional and void. State laws to provide for a trial by jury, to ascertain Uic fact that the person reclaimed is a slave, are overruled by Uiis decision. The abstract points involved in this decision are to the following effect: 1st The constitutions! provision executes itself, so far as to authorise the mutter, or his agent, to seize a fugitive slave in any Stato in the Union as property t and Umt no Slate law is constitutional which interferes with tho right 2d. But the provision also contemplates leginhtion by Congress, to make the delivery ot fugitive slave more effectual, against all State or oUier interference. ;ld. Congress has legislated, and such legtilatinn is the supreme law of tho land, excluding all State legislation upon tho same subject No State therefore can pass any law to qualify, impede, or Control, Uio remedy given by the act ot4 Congress, -Ith. The power of legislation by Congress is ex-chisivo, and no State Uiervfore can pass any law, to carry into effect the provminn in Uie Constitution in respect to fugitive slaves, hcUier. Congress has or has not legislated. Ath, Tho points decided aro in no way intended to interfere with Uie police power in the Sutes to take up runaway slaves, and to guard Uiemselves from their depredations. The Chike Jitsth k and Mr. Justice Dniei.s concurred with the Court, in opinion Umt thr Pennsylvania law was unconstitutional and void, but differed as to the exclusive nature of the legislative power, holding Uiat Uinugh one Stato could pass no law to impair or impede tho act of Congress, they might still legislate in harmony witli it Mr. JtftTH'R M Lean also concurred in Iho result to which the Court had come, but was of opinion that stato officers and magistrates were bound under Uie Constitution, to act in obedience to Uie provisions of the act of Congress on the suhjret He was farther of opinion, Uiat tho owners of fugitive slaves were bound to pursue strictly the remedy prescribed by the act of 171KI, and havo no right to aciae and carry tho fugitive away without a certificate. and that a Stato was competent tn punish such an act, as a violation of its peire and dignily. Mr. Juitick lUi.nwiN held that both the Pennsylvania law, and Uio act of Cougmu were uncmintitu-Uonal, because tho provision was intended to execute itself, Mr. Justice Wayne cnncurnnip with themaioritv. briefly recapitulated tho points decided, according to tho above abstract, in order that thero might bo no misunderstanding. For Itit Ohm ft me Journal. The following remarkable proceedings of the House of Represents lives of Wednesday last, are taken from the Statesman: " Mr. Hyington, from the Judiciary committee, reported but k House bill No. to amend an Ret for the relief of insolvent debtors, with one amendment, which proposes to authorise a loan hy Iho Stale of money to wy contractors and oUicr creditors of tho State. "Mr. 11.) won rose to a question of order on the ground Uiat the amendment retried did not Correa-Hind with Uie title of tho bill. Mr. McNulty, in the Chair, decided that the amendiifc-nt wm 'in order, ronsidtrittg the State an insolvent nriNToa, "Mr, Hatch appealed from the decision of the Chair, u A vote wna then taken on arrreimr to iistnin the decision of the Choir, and the question carried. So the decision of Uit Chair was sustained." Such are the extraordinary proceeding of the Legislature of the great State of Ohio, representing a constituency of more than a million and half, and nnwssing resources equal to any State in Una Union. Yet th presiding officer or the House entertains an amendment to a bill upon tho ground of an insolvency "f Iho Stale, and upon upp al, tho decision of Uiu iloibo sutiUuuj Uic tq iuion of the Chair. But what is still more strange, is tho open and public avowal of the bankruptcy of Uie State, pending the fiassugc of a bill to negutiato a loan of money to pay ter creditors. Whut can be more absurd, unless it was intended to forestall the object of the law, by announcing beforehand the inability of the State to repay the money loaned, and thus effectually defeat the negotiation for that purpose ? Who can conceive of a nioro suicidal policy, and especially in such times as Uiese, when State and individual credit ia suffering under the greatest depression; when universal embarrassment pervades Uie whole country and paralyzing its energies, and credit ia so painfully sensitive to the slightest breath of suspicion? Under such circumstances, such reckless sentiments from our Legislative functionaries cannot fail to excite astonish uient abroad, and dismay and mortification at home. Such a course is, indeed, unparalleled in the annals of all legislation, and evinces a destitution of sympathy and interest in the sufferings of the people Umt indicates a heart " A euld a the rlu.v that wrap! the dead, And hard us the murlde that covers the grave." P. THE EXCHEQUER. Tiie Cincinnati Republican, (friendly to the Tyler Administration) is opposed to the Exchequer plan of Air. Tall mad ge. It concludes a long article on the subject in pointing out its defects, as follows : " We cannot resist Uie conclusion, then, that the bill of Uie Senate's committee will materially cripple, if not destroy, Uio credit system, by concentrating the specie of Uie country in the hands of the govern ment Umt it will cut off all local means of relief by tho specie-absorbing power of Uie exchequer, whilst that exchequer, on its part, will only bo enabled to grunt about Uie fiftieUi purt of tho faciliUes required by the wants of trade. It is altogether and fundamentally diflerent from the plun of Uie Secretary of tho Treasury, which certainly did promise mwh relief. In truth, Uie Committee having in unnecessary fear the Executive power (und which is admitted to be cut off in the simple orpanizahon of tho Board,) seems ' to have given us a bill wherein the arm of the government is permitted to do harm, without a corresponding good.

WM. MlNhit, Clerk U. V. Columbus, March 11, 1842. MR. DEAN, OF OHIO. This proud Stute hue some members in both Houses of Congress that reflect no honor upon Uio State or Uiemselves. Of Uiis number is Mr. Dean, of whom we find the following notice in an extract of a letter published in Uie Alexandria Gazette: Wo hud, to-day, a speech in Uie House ot Representatives from Air. Dean, of Ohio, the character who made himself bo conspicuous in Uie debate on tho Appropriation for the benefit of Uio family of Gen. Harrison; and such us it was, wo have rarely heard! Ho was followed throughout, by the convulsive laughter of tho House, his own political friends joining in tho merriment as heartily as Uio Whigs, for it was inqmssible to restrain, after he got under way. When "ho wished to God Umt he had Uie eloquence of Cicero," to blast the Whigs, I Uinught some of the members would have expired. It is well enough to laugh sometimes at Uicse mountebanks, with hardly bruins enough to keep their heads out of Uie tire, but such exhibitions are sadly derogatory tn Uic dignity and character of Uie House. A man like Mr. Dean, should bo owed into silence but, as it is, he is us impudent and flippant an a do-xen oUicr long tongued, sappy headed political bores, who have wriggled themselves into seats in Uie Hall of the House of Representatives." Wo very well recollect seeing and hearing Uiis same Mr. Dean make a most ridiculous exhibition of himself at the extra session last summer. And we very well recollect, too, the reply of Mr. Lane, of Indiana, to Uie said Mr. Dean. Mr. Dean, in opposing an appropriation to Mrs, I Unison, remarked, tlmt among At' constituents, there was no distress, pecuniary or otherwise, atcr which he poured forth a torent of abuse upon tho memory of the deceased patriot, Hahhison. Mr. Lane replied, that if Mr. Dean's constituents had never before been distressed. they uwtld bc itken Ary read his speech, .Marietta hi tclligenctr. From Uic ('inrmtwu GbzpHc. INDIANA WHIG ADDRESS.

Riitrwir was arrested and committed for trial, but subsequently made his escape. A mob then of roiiip tiy persons miUiercd up and attempted to commit violence upon the father of the young man who was killed. The old man Uien with some friends, barricaded his house, and Uio mob commenced firing into it, which Uiev riddled considerably with Uieir balls- a female child, daughter of Mr. Riser, had her finger ahot off.

THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1842. ADJOURNMENT OP THE LEGISLATURE. The Statesman, as in duty bound, glorifies the Legislature, which has just closed its destructive labors. The majority are praised for every thing which they had better left undone, and only not censured for the only acccptublc act that can be placed to their credit, viz: tho resolution finally to diverse but oven that was drugged wilh a proviso to meet again in July, at an extraordinary and unnecessary expense to the people. The session, like all that have gone before it, and are evor to come after, " hus been one of the most important ever held in Ohio." At least, such is the expressed opinion of the Statesman, and taking into consideration the amount of good which might have been secured but was not, and the mass of evil entailed which might have been avoided, wo shall concede that it deserves to be deemed memorable, and that is nearly the same tiling, When the Lo-gislature met, the tiffin rs of tho State were deeply depressed, and when it separated, enough had been dune to close every prospect of relief for the ensuing year. That which was intolerably bad has become ineffably worse. The spirit in which measures of public policy have been conceived, and the unprincipled means by which they have been carried out, have not only shaken tho structure of our institutions as a State, for tho time being, but have left us to grapple with a host of difficulties for tho future, which the firmest resolution and the wisost expedi euts, for a generation to como, will bo incapablo of repairing. It is greatly to be regretted that thero is no one, who would wish to do posterity a service by writing the history of this Legislature. If it be any tiling more than a poetical conception, that "vice to bo hated, needs but to be seen," the portraits of some who have figured as leaders in thocapitol during this modern reign of terror, might ho eminently useful to those who are to succeed them as guardians of tho public weal We would be willing to assume the taik ourselves, but tlmt tho daily labors with which we aro identified would disqualify us from executing it perfectly, and better that it be not done at all, thun not well done. Still the example can not be lost, if left unwritten. The Legislature has reared a monument to itself which will withstand tho ravages of tiino for many a revolution of the sun, and tradition, if tho historian docs not, will preserve its infamy. In after days men will speak of tho abuses of government and tho mischiefs of demagogueisin as unparalleled except by the Legislature of Ohio in lb 12. It cannot be surprising that the Legislature does not escape tho commendation of tho Statesman. The good opinion of tlmt personification of vulgarity, impertinence and cupidity hna been paid fur out of the Treasury, Never has there been a legislature employed more diligently in lavishing the public money upon an undeserving reprobate, than the present. Doubtless the opportunity has been deemed too good to bo Uwt, and as it might be tho last which would evor be afforded to the present State Printer, tho reward of purtizan services out of tho public coffers hus boon proportioned to tho exigency of the occasion. Besides, another important election is approaching, and if the munitions of war were not laid in now, tho contest on one side would flag for the lack of an energetic support. Tho editor of tho Statesman affects to deny that the Stato Printing cm possibly reach $'if,000, but we aver, that whatever it may be, it might have been one third less, without detriment to the general interest of the peo ple, and that at one half the sum, the advantages of all tho legislation of the winter would have been most dearly purchased. The whole number of acts of a general nature passed during a session of thirteen weeks, is barely thirty-nine! Several of these are merely forms, uch as tho fixing of the courts, the ordinary appro priation bills, &c Six are connected with "Hank Reform," and several aro amendatory of other acts. passed at an earlier day. The mcngro character of the legislation of the winter will strike tho most in different person, when he glances at the titles of the acts. The people would bo thankful that no tnoro had been done, had not tho period of the session been prolonged so needlessly in doing nothing. Tho Statesman regrets that "a few bills were lost, thro' the combined voles of tho opHwition. Tho people will regret tlmt more did not share the same fate. It is not often that the minority are able to control the ma jority, but as the Statesman asserts that such a strange result has, in a few instances, characteritcd the in citlents of the session, we tuko occasion to return our thanks, in the name of thr people of the Statet to that a&me vigilant "opposition, for the evils thus averted. They had tho will, if they hid possessed the power, to have averted mora. Let tho people then remem ber their fuitliful public servants, who, though they wanted the strength to protect and promote Uicir interests as fully as they desired, did not, nevertheless abandon their duty, but contended munfully for the right, and when the majority determined to outrage tho principles of jintico and reason, compelled them also to sin against light and knowledge. The Whig minority of the present legislature are an intelligent, capablo and trusty body of men. Could tho Stato have been so fortunate as to have had its interests wholly committed to their hands, fur different would havo been tho fruits of the session. Wo hope wo alia 11 meet them again under different and more favorable auspices when ihey will be able to com bine their efforts for the establishment of good laws rather than oppose, mostly in vain, the enactment of bad ones. Though wo havo said that wo cannot write tho history of this legislature, we shall notwithstanding have occasion to sketch some of its proceedings, in the course of the ensuing summer. In the performance of that task, we will labor to do justice to somo of the scenes that have been just closed. HOME LEAGUE. Tho Wiseacre of the Statesman has conceived uch an inordinate dislike to these patriotic associa tions, which have for their object the encouragement and promotion of .iWncon instead of liritish inter ests, that ho is ready to go as fur out of his way to givo one of them a word of ill-will and contempt, as John Randolph was to kick a sheep. His exults turn at tho failure of the attempt to establish a Home League " in this city ts not forgotten, and within a fow days he has sent up another shout over tho reported dissolution of the u Homo League n at Wheeling. In the latter instanco we havo tho plea sure of apprisiug him tlmt he is a little too fast. The Home League of W heeling, as wo learn from the Wheeling times, is fur enough froin being dead, and doserves none of his tears. Ho can of course bottle hem for future use. "FEW DIE AND NONE RESIGN Tho Statesman mentions in tone of exultation that several Whigs in tho Indiana Legislature have imitated Mr. Clay's example, and resigned their eats. Certain it is that when men in public stations are found surrendering tho honors and emolu ments of office, they will prove on enquiry to bo Whig. The trick is ono which tho I,oco Foco Fe deralists havo never acquired. Jefferson alluded to this class of politicians when ho said, "tew die, and none resign." New Haumhihk Senator.

Tho number of coses in the last Court in Bank being greater than ever before, many of them long ones, running up to a volume of nearly fjOO pages, us was supposed, it was not expected tlmt they would be printed till about the middle, or possibly the first of June. Tho work wus began soon after the Court adjourned and about 40 coses, making nearly 200 pages, are now printed. The materials on hand and tho work done tiius far amount to about 350 dollars. It is in this condition of things tlmt the late act of tho Legislature relative to the Reports, has gone into operation. The old Reporter is kept in ullice till June, and ho is required now to go to Mr. Medary, the State Printer, and there begin, tie novo, the print ing ot all tho cases decided at the last term, in tho form and size of the lute collated Statutes, varying so greatly from the first number of the 10th volume that Uiey cannot bo bound together.

The Loco Foco party at Concord, beaded by Isaac Uill, have formally repudiated Henry Hubbard, the regular Loco Foco nomiueo for Governor, and have nominated as their candidulo Hun, John N. White, of Lancaster. At a caucus last Saturday evening, the belligerent parties came near having a regular set to and Burton, as 11)11 intimates, threatened to uso the knife upon him if he persisted in forcing his resolutions through tho caucus. Hill, however, lino ly tn i implied his resolutions wero adopted and at the cud of them lite following additional resolutions, denouncing and renouncing Hubbard, which Hill's Patriot says u passed in a quick flash of at urinative voices, with not even a radical .to upon tho oUier side of the house." Krsoiccd, That when any candidate for office in this State subsequent to hit noimniion, renounces und abjures his former opinions, or declares in fnvor of now political doctrines, ho absolves his party from every pledge to support hunt the Hon. Henry Hubbard, having recently avowed principles and opinions repugnant to those which his friends siipjwscd he entertained, when they supported his nomination last June, and these principles and opinions being, in our belief, inimical to the town of Concord, and opposed to tho best interests of the State, wo do not consider him entitled to our further support: Wo therefore renounce tho Hon. Henry Hubbard, and in his stead will support the Hon. John H. White for the office of Governor of this State at tho ensuing election, in whose hour-sty, integrity und consistent democracy, wo have full confidence. For this movement tho old Patriot denounces Hill as a traitor to the party in the following terms; We ore compelled by every colonic rati on of regard to the good of our glorious cause, by every suggestion of duty, to denounce Isaac Hill as faithless to the Democracy of the tlranite State, We proclaim him, to our brethren in tho Union, to be perfidious to the Democratic party. Wo arraign him before thorn as plotting and striving to carry out in overt acts the overthrow of our holy cnu-te in Now Hampshire, ("or the basest ends. We charge him with being false to his political friends, false to himself, fulso to every consideration of character and reputation, false to tho good name and fame of tho Democratic party in this State.

Ho makes war u ton the party, which his hitherto been kinder to turn than a father tn his child." Barton's Patriot also contains a Circular from the Central Committee, who sound tho alurm in a most lugubrious tones declare that there is treason in the ramp, and tlmt the beacon light of New Hampshire Loco Focoism is in danger ot' being extinguished. There aro two locofoco papers at Columbus, the O-hio Statesman, and the Old School Republican, The former says the State Convention of thetwenty-see-end was a meagre affair, about half as large as the right of January CMiccrn.

From die Woostcr Democrat. I Whid State Convention. The Convention i held at Columbus on the 22d of February was compos-. ed of about IJOOO just such men as have heretofore as-1 sembled in previous meeting of tliesame kind the ! independent, the honest antl intelligent yeomanry of j die State. These men were actuated by a spirit of deep devotion to the cause which they have espoused; and manifested, by their attendance at so unpleasant 1 a season of the year, a patriotic willingness to sac-; rifice their own personal comfort, as well as pecunia-i ry interest, for the general good. In this spirit were their proceedings conducted. In this spirit was the nomination made which they have presented to the public ; and, in this spirit, we doubt not, will that no- mini: ion be supported by the electors of the Stute. , The proceedings of this body, which wo publish to-day, will be read with intense interest by the electors of this section of the State. Before the assembling of the Convention, many thousands looked forward to the meeting with anxious hopes and keen interest. Its proceedings are now submitted to the public, and well hove they sustained tho confidence tlmt was placed in the body collectively- -well have they fulfilled tho hopes tlmt were entertained of its results. Tho nomination of THOMAS COR WIN for reelection to tho office of Chief Magistrate of the State, was, wo believe, unexiweted to nearly every person, in consequence of his repeatedly expressed desire to retire troin the post he now mis with so mucn honor. The nomination, however, will lose nothing, but gain by this circumstance. The name presented Bounds familiar upon tho ear, like that of some cherished friend. It is not tho name of ono who has sought the office, either by his own solicitation, or through the exertions of noisy partizans ; but of ono unanimously selected by the Convention, and to whom tho nomi nation wus tendered, and accepted, m a inuuncr alike worthy of the giver and receiver. Mb. Corwin is one ot the purest and ablest men in tho Stote. Indeed but few persons, even among his political oponcnts, will venture to deny his eminent fitness fur the station he now holds, and which it is sought to confer on him a second time. W ith such a mun for our candidate, wo cuu go on in our course with fresh impulse, and renewed spirit. The proceedings ot the Convention with the Ad dress and Resolutions adopted, will leave many to serious und eurnest investigation of the policy fur which the Whig party contend, and of the principles which they advocate. It is the chief object of the Whigs to court investigation, and invite examination into their political acts and motives, at all times: and every movement which will give a wider spread to a knowledge of their principles, will add in an equal rotio to their strength. The nomination ut Thomas Lorn in and Uio publi cation of the proceedings of the Convention, aro well calculated to promote this result; and whether suc cessful or otherwise, they wm contribute to send us on, with accelerated speed, to the achievement of Uie final triumph tho prostration of the demagogues who hold Uic tcmiwrary control ol the Mate, und the elevation of statesmen and patriots in their stead.

Tho Address is sound in sentiment and temperate in tone, and the Resolutions equally so. Thu nomination of Governor Corwin for re-election is hailed with great satisfaction by every true Whig of the State. Of his re-election none, we presume, can reasonably doubt The Convention was respcetuble and very numerously attended, as will bo ween by reference to tho first page of our patwr. Upon this subject tho Cincinnati Gazette makes the tallowing candid and well-timed remurks : Wmo Convention. Wo givo up our columns to-day chiefly to the proceedings ot tins convention, Tho address is temperate in tone, and calls ujwn the good people of Ohio to rally against tho course of the destructives. And they will do so. Ohio hus been long enough under tho cuntrol of bartering politicians too long for her interest or her honor, and unless she discards them, as she would any tiling tlmt is vile and louthsome, all tlmt ia dear to hor will be be sacrificed by them. Wo want business legislators, practicul men, and we must have them. We aro truly glad to know tlmt Governor Corwin is to be our candidate, wo have tried him. W know his firmness. And with such a louder we need not doubt our success, if like honest men we work fur it The Editor of the Clinton Republican attended the Convention. Ot Air. Con wis ho says: M It is true Mr. Corwin did not intend to be a candidate for re-election, but tho voice of every whig in the stnto was for Corwin, and Corwin only.

Wmo State Convention. The proceedings of this great gathering ot the trcemen ol Ohio, may bo found in to-day's paper: indeed, their great length precludes tho insertion of hardly any thing else. But wo shall bo exciiied fur thus occupying our columns, as all aro anxious to learn the result of the labors of their delegates in Convention assembled. Tho address is an able one, and well worthy a careful and considerate perusal. The numher of delegates in attendance upon the Convention has been variously estimated, by good and competent judges, at from :l,0()0 to 5,000. There wero, probably, not less than 11,000 at least ; and yet Sam Medary s iys thero wero only C'Ki in the procession on that occasion. But, then, no one believes tho u father of linrs, " and we puss by Medary 's slang as idle talk. Ho will become sathdied by the second Tuesday in October, tlmt tlie delegutes represented Uto PEOPLE, let their numbers bo numerous or small. Gov. Corw in's nomination was by acclamation; not one small dissenting voice wns heard. Ho was too severely indisposed to address tho vast multitude, having been confined to his bed fur a few days previous. Ho tins accepted of tho nomination, and if thu people fail to elect bun, under the circumstances in which he has been inducod to run, they will prove recreant to their duty, and fuitidess to tho greut interests of the State. Altogether tho Convention was a glorious affair, and augers well fur success. We have never attended a convention, where a better spirit and mora enthusiasm prevailed (save and except that of M0) than was manifested at Columbus on tho id. Tho Convention was composed of tho hardy tillers of the soil, who appeared to feel tho embarrassment of their condition, and the sad effects of Loco Foco legislation upon tho wclfaro of tho State; and who manifested a determination to drivo the Soilers from power while yet the freedom of thought and icech was their legacy. And certain are we, from the indications wo saw at Columbus, and from the feelings of the people through that portion of the State which wo travelled, that their efforts will prove triumphant tlmt Tom Corwin, the favorite son of Ohio, will, for two yoars more, preside over the destinies of this State ; and further, that Loco Foco legislation and misrulo will meet with a rebuko ns terrible as tho destruction of Sudum and Gomorrah. From the Toledo Bhule. Thomas Corwin. It is with pride that wo place Uio name of this gentleman, at the head of our editorial columns, as the candidate for Governor of this State. His nomination will be hailed by every Whig, and every lover of his country, with entliusiatic exultation. With such a leader tho Whigs will surely come off victorious. We most heartily adopt tho sentiments of the Cleveland Herald, in speaking of his nomination, w hich mys: 1 1 is isamuno around which we can rally and do hnttlc for our country. In him the people have trust and confidence. His long course of public service has made him known to the public and his talents and integrity will not be questioned. Tho Whigs of Ohio havo not forgotten the spirit stirring and eloquent appeals lie made to them in tho glorious contest ot lb 10, when "tho spoilers" were routed and defeated. They will rally again under the banner of CORWIN, mid they will again triumplu His numo is a host, and with hun as a candidate, i cumioi be drjeated Thomas Corwin, is truly and emphatically, tho people's man.

This day one year ago, William Henry Harri son, in tho midst of thousands of his admiring coun trymen, at tho Cupito) of the Republic, delivered his memorable Inaugural ; distinguished for its beauty, patriotism and sound American principles. It wus a noble ftroduction from a noble mind. Its doctrines met with a hearty resjHtnso from two-thirds of his fellow -citizens. Joy thrilled their hearts. They be lieved a purer, brighter day, had dawned upon tho republic. His nddress was considered the harbinger of an honest administration of public atVuirs, and of the restoration ot that permanent American policy which exjorience had demonstrated to be inseparably connected with the prosperity of the country. The peoplo expected a thorough change; an undoing of nearly an uiai nau Dcen none in tho nrecedinir twelve yoars. They looked for a sound and efficient .National tiunk; an adjustment ot tho J arid, which. while it should protect ono section should not nnnreas another; for a limitation of Executive power ami patronage; fur a vnst reduction of expenditures; the discontinuance ot useless ottirca, and a vigorous and searching Reform. Gen. Harrison lived ono short month; but his administration during this brief pe riod satisfied all his friends that his actions wero a complete verification of his profession; that as a steady adherence to principle had ever distininnshcd him before, so it would be his polar-star in the future; that as the people had called on him as their deliverer in the day of trouble, so ho never would disap point mem in ineirjust expectations. Had tien Harrison lived, we should tins day have enjoyed tho benefit of a sound and national currency i a comoletc reform would have been in progress in all the de- namncuts oi me government; the Cabinet would hove remained a unit; confidence in the adninistra- tion would have been unimpaired ; the party would have been every where victorious, united and invincible. But alas, tho clmngo! Since his death, disappointment, chagrin, treachery and defeat, have ueen uio unlooked-for inheritance of the W hig party. When tho grave cloned ovor Uio mortal rriiminsof our beloved President, tho people looked with confidence to the Vice President to carry out the great principles of his predecessor, and with which ho stood identified before his election to Uio Vice Presidency. Tho support of tho party was warmly nrof- fervd him ; and when they read his Inaugural Address and found that Uie Harrison Cabinet was to be continued, any fears thny may havo entertained in relation to mr. lyler's fidelity were dissipated, as was clearly indicated in Uie result of tho elections prior to Uio Extra Session. Put ambition and evil councils swnyed tho mind of Uio now President: the one term principle lost its influence, and Uie po. sion of power and Uio syren voico of flattery lured him from Uio rmUi of integrity and invited him to struggle for a future election to the Presidency. Ho hoped tn form a third party stronger than either of the two existing ones, which should acknowledged him as its head; and this is still his object Congress convened : his first message wan pretty well received j but remnrkublo only for its feebleness as a state pa per. rwrv thing went on smooth v for awhile t hank bill was introduced into Congress ; but at lengUi the peoplo wore shocked ith Uie announcement, Umt Uie bill, unless modified tn suit the President could not obtain his signature, this was bold language from a Whig President Tho bill pawed in a motlified shape. The modification was treated by him with contempt new objections were started; Conscience could'nt stand discounts wiUiout the assrnt of tho States; it became a lively, active, vigilant principle, discerning things no mortal man had ever dreamed of before. It operated per re, and no mis take. A veto was tho consequence ; the will of tho people was contemned and Congress defied. This IhkIv Uien should have in-dnntly adjourned. Anoth er bill wus passed, precisely in accordance with John Tyler's wishes, and ho vetoed that ! Can a man acting thus be honest? What sav the American peo ple ?

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1812. CONGRESS THE RIGHT OF PETITION. Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, presented a petition the other day in the House, at Washington, asking for a dissolution of the Union. It wus received very quietly, no southern members sprung upon Mr. and no angry or ferocious debates followed, l he propo sition to refer it to a select committee was rejected by a large majojity. rhuu. OuztHe. If any section of the Union has reason to fleck tho dissolution of tho compact, it is the North. Pa triotic and forbearing, the People of the North have meekly endured a thousand aggravated and real evils, which might have been avoided, and what was more ungracious still, the insolence and menaces ot the South; but their patience is nearly exhausted. Hence these unexampled and startling sounds in Congress the North and tho West demanding a peaceful separation of the States ! But it is impos sible. The Union can not, must not be dissolved. It must be PRESERVED. Wo must hand down this glorious fabric, cemented by the blood of our fathers, hallowed by the most ennobling associations, to Posterity, It was entrusted to us fur tlmt purpose. Ultraisms on both sides must be discountenanced. We arc rapidly we may my happily, approaching a new crisis. Ihe adverse systems ot policy winch havo fomented our divisions and sharpened our ant mositics, cannot much longer maintain an equal contest The South, if it does not see, is beginning to ftet its errors. Tho doctrino of Protection is again coinirg into favor, and spreading like a prairie fire. Ve shall Boon weigh the common interests of the nation in the same scutes. Wo Bhnll once more unito like a bund of brothers. But let the South meet the North on equal ground in another tender point Let southern statesmen fling away their cowardly fear of petitions. Let them rescind their 21st rules. Let them ccoao to rely upon such cob webs for safety, I he peoplo of the free States can not be restrained by such desperate expedients. They must bo reasoned with. Every attempt to drive or intimidate them will prove worse than use less. Above all, they will not surrender tho rights which are guarantied to tlicm by the Constitution, and next to the Right of Suffrage they value the Right of Petition. Let tho South review its position on this subject through a common sense medium. Its duty is obvious. If either section has a greater interest in preserving the Union, tho sculo turns against tho South. They are benefitted most by it, and could not long survive a disruption. Uon the North the consequences of disunion might full with less force, but no human ken can now forcseo tho extent or termination of the terrible evils w hich such a catastrophe would entail upon us. Where both sides havo so much reason to culti vate friendly relations, surely it cannot be difficult to avoid mutual causes of irritation. Give us a Tariff, aye, a Tariff of Protection; givo us back the prosperity wo havo sacrificed to tho wretched fallacies of Free Trade abrogate those odious rules in Con gress that infringe ujon the right of petition let us confide more in each other's generosity and good foUli, and the flag of tho UNION shall cast its shadows from the rising to the setting sun, and wave perpetually over tho "Land of die free, and the home of the brave." riPE-LAYING REVIVED.

The Supreme Court of Uio United States has recently made an important decision, respecting Uie right of tho owners of fugitive slaves to reclaim their property in Uio free stales. By it the master of a slave escaping from son' ice into anoUier state, is entitled to apprehend Uie fugitive and convey him bo-yond its boundaries without any refeu-ncc to tho laws of the State in w Inch he may be found all such laws being pronounced unconstitutional and void. State laws to provide for a trial by jury, to ascertain Uic fact that the person reclaimed is a slave, are overruled by Uiis decision. The abstract points involved in this decision are to the following effect: 1st The constitutions! provision executes itself, so far as to authorise the mutter, or his agent, to seize a fugitive slave in any Stato in the Union as property t and Umt no Slate law is constitutional which interferes with tho right 2d. But the provision also contemplates leginhtion by Congress, to make the delivery ot fugitive slave more effectual, against all State or oUier interference. ;ld. Congress has legislated, and such legtilatinn is the supreme law of tho land, excluding all State legislation upon tho same subject No State therefore can pass any law to qualify, impede, or Control, Uio remedy given by the act ot4 Congress, -Ith. The power of legislation by Congress is ex-chisivo, and no State Uiervfore can pass any law, to carry into effect the provminn in Uie Constitution in respect to fugitive slaves, hcUier. Congress has or has not legislated. Ath, Tho points decided aro in no way intended to interfere with Uie police power in the Sutes to take up runaway slaves, and to guard Uiemselves from their depredations. The Chike Jitsth k and Mr. Justice Dniei.s concurred with the Court, in opinion Umt thr Pennsylvania law was unconstitutional and void, but differed as to the exclusive nature of the legislative power, holding Uiat Uinugh one Stato could pass no law to impair or impede tho act of Congress, they might still legislate in harmony witli it Mr. JtftTH'R M Lean also concurred in Iho result to which the Court had come, but was of opinion that stato officers and magistrates were bound under Uie Constitution, to act in obedience to Uie provisions of the act of Congress on the suhjret He was farther of opinion, Uiat tho owners of fugitive slaves were bound to pursue strictly the remedy prescribed by the act of 171KI, and havo no right to aciae and carry tho fugitive away without a certificate. and that a Stato was competent tn punish such an act, as a violation of its peire and dignily. Mr. Juitick lUi.nwiN held that both the Pennsylvania law, and Uio act of Cougmu were uncmintitu-Uonal, because tho provision was intended to execute itself, Mr. Justice Wayne cnncurnnip with themaioritv. briefly recapitulated tho points decided, according to tho above abstract, in order that thero might bo no misunderstanding. For Itit Ohm ft me Journal. The following remarkable proceedings of the House of Represents lives of Wednesday last, are taken from the Statesman: " Mr. Hyington, from the Judiciary committee, reported but k House bill No. to amend an Ret for the relief of insolvent debtors, with one amendment, which proposes to authorise a loan hy Iho Stale of money to wy contractors and oUicr creditors of tho State. "Mr. 11.) won rose to a question of order on the ground Uiat the amendment retried did not Correa-Hind with Uie title of tho bill. Mr. McNulty, in the Chair, decided that the amendiifc-nt wm 'in order, ronsidtrittg the State an insolvent nriNToa, "Mr, Hatch appealed from the decision of the Chair, u A vote wna then taken on arrreimr to iistnin the decision of the Choir, and the question carried. So the decision of Uit Chair was sustained." Such are the extraordinary proceeding of the Legislature of the great State of Ohio, representing a constituency of more than a million and half, and nnwssing resources equal to any State in Una Union. Yet th presiding officer or the House entertains an amendment to a bill upon tho ground of an insolvency "f Iho Stale, and upon upp al, tho decision of Uiu iloibo sutiUuuj Uic tq iuion of the Chair. But what is still more strange, is tho open and public avowal of the bankruptcy of Uie State, pending the fiassugc of a bill to negutiato a loan of money to pay ter creditors. Whut can be more absurd, unless it was intended to forestall the object of the law, by announcing beforehand the inability of the State to repay the money loaned, and thus effectually defeat the negotiation for that purpose ? Who can conceive of a nioro suicidal policy, and especially in such times as Uiese, when State and individual credit ia suffering under the greatest depression; when universal embarrassment pervades Uie whole country and paralyzing its energies, and credit ia so painfully sensitive to the slightest breath of suspicion? Under such circumstances, such reckless sentiments from our Legislative functionaries cannot fail to excite astonish uient abroad, and dismay and mortification at home. Such a course is, indeed, unparalleled in the annals of all legislation, and evinces a destitution of sympathy and interest in the sufferings of the people Umt indicates a heart " A euld a the rlu.v that wrap! the dead, And hard us the murlde that covers the grave."

It concludes a long article on the subject in pointing out its defects, as follows : " We cannot resist Uie conclusion, then, that the bill of Uie Senate's committee will materially cripple, if not destroy, Uio credit system, by concentrating the specie of Uie country in the hands of the govern ment Umt it will cut off all local means of relief by tho specie-absorbing power of Uie exchequer, whilst that exchequer, on its part, will only bo enabled to grunt about Uie fiftieUi purt of tho faciliUes required by the wants of trade. It is altogether and fundamentally diflerent from the plun of Uie Secretary of tho Treasury, which certainly did promise mwh relief. In truth, Uie Committee having in unnecessary fear the Executive power (und which is admitted to be cut off in the simple orpanizahon of tho Board,) seems ' to have given us a bill wherein the arm of the government is permitted to do harm, without a corresponding good.

WM. MlNhit, Clerk U. V. Columbus, March 11, 1842. MR. DEAN, OF OHIO. This proud Stute hue some members in both Houses of Congress that reflect no honor upon Uio State or Uiemselves. Of Uiis number is Mr. Dean, of whom we find the following notice in an extract of a letter published in Uie Alexandria Gazette: Wo hud, to-day, a speech in Uie House ot Representatives from Air. Dean, of Ohio, the character who made himself bo conspicuous in Uie debate on tho Appropriation for the benefit of Uio family of Gen. Harrison; and such us it was, wo have rarely heard! Ho was followed throughout, by the convulsive laughter of tho House, his own political friends joining in tho merriment as heartily as Uio Whigs, for it was inqmssible to restrain, after he got under way. When "ho wished to God Umt he had Uie eloquence of Cicero," to blast the Whigs, I Uinught some of the members would have expired. It is well enough to laugh sometimes at Uicse mountebanks, with hardly bruins enough to keep their heads out of Uie tire, but such exhibitions are sadly derogatory tn Uic dignity and character of Uie House. A man like Mr. Dean, should bo owed into silence but, as it is, he is us impudent and flippant an a do-xen oUicr long tongued, sappy headed political bores, who have wriggled themselves into seats in Uie Hall of the House of Representatives." Wo very well recollect seeing and hearing Uiis same Mr. Dean make a most ridiculous exhibition of himself at the extra session last summer. And we very well recollect, too, the reply of Mr. Lane, of Indiana, to Uie said Mr. Dean. Mr. Dean, in opposing an appropriation to Mrs, I Unison, remarked, tlmt among At' constituents, there was no distress, pecuniary or otherwise, atcr which he poured forth a torent of abuse upon tho memory of the deceased patriot, Hahhison. Mr. Lane replied, that if Mr. Dean's constituents had never before been distressed. they uwtld bc itken Ary read his speech, .Marietta hi tclligenctr. From Uic ('inrmtwu GbzpHc. INDIANA WHIG ADDRESS. This is a plain and powerful address. The Whin of Indiana, we hear, are fully roused, and mean to shake oil Uio apathy winch seemed lor a time to benumb Uiem. They lament Uie fallen Chief, tho noble warrior patriot ; but. Uiey say, shall the thunder of a batth cease, because a frntral has fallen So craven a deed would disgrace his memory! It was not the temper which bore hun on in civil acUon, or over hard fought battle fields. Nor was it in Uiis spirit he died. "Carry out the true principles of tho Government j I ask nothing more. Living and dying, this was his sentiment, und Indiana will fulfil this injuncUon of her beloved chief and friend. They lament, too, Uio course of President Tyler, They uc no harsh, epiUiets towards him; but Uiey my he has struck a deep blow at Uio nation's interest, and has disappointed them. Yet as the death of a trmted leader did not repress their energj1, neither will Uie course of the living dampen dr dash Uteir spirit They wash Uieir hands of Mr. Tyler's acts, having neither lot nor part in Uiem. But while Uiey do this, they aro resolved to rally again, and again to struggle for Whig measures and Whig principles.

Madam rumor, says the Batesville Nows of Uie 10th inst, f ives us an account of an outrageous mob in Van lure n county. Tho circumstances, as we have learned thorn, are as follows t Some three or four weeks since, at Uio County Court of Van Ruren, a young man by tho name of Kiaer wag engaged in a fight with ono of Samms, when Butram threw a rock and bnkc his skull. Riitrwir was arrested and committed for trial, but subsequently made his escape. A mob then of roiiip tiy persons miUiercd up and attempted to commit violence upon the father of the young man who was killed. The old man Uien with some friends, barricaded his house, and Uio mob commenced firing into it, which Uiev riddled considerably with Uieir balls- a female child, daughter of Mr. Riser, had her finger ahot off. Mr. Kiscr, by tome means, got a messenger off for aid to this county, to assist him in geiiuig oil with his family, but on their arrival, Mr. Kiser and five others of his friends, who were in thr house with him, were missing. Whut has become m mem no one knows, j no mob at the last account, wore still in arms and had stnpt a number of persons pacing Uirunghthe county, and examined Uieir persons and pMrs. This is about the substance of Uio report, as we have heard it We trait it ia not so bad as w rrpmttMited. We still hope that the matter may be grratly exaggerated.
